Over 130 additional species and sub-species have been added to the new edition bringing the total to over 850 species and sub-species. These are depicted in full color illustrations on 176 plates.

The guide uses the split-page approach (a change from the first edition) where text and range maps are on the left pages and species plates are on the right pages. The full-color plates highlight prominent field marks and show significant sub-species, winter plumages, and female plumages where applicable.

The text on the left covers common and scientific names, size, description, voice, and habitat. Key field identifiers are highlighted in bold italics for easy scanning. Color range maps round out the text.
